after reading the comments i started asking myself - should i even start to learn using this product ? why on earth would i be interested in learning proprietary products and pollute my mind with proprietary owned caged knowledge ?

Just heard the MIX10 keynote announce that Blend 4 would be a free upgrade (of some kind) for Expression Blend 3 owners. This is great news. It's too bad this wasn't announced much sooner, as my previous comment from November shows I have gone without Blend for months because I knew Silverlight and Blend 4 were coming.

Nevertheless, this is good news for current Blend owners and I applaud MSFT for helping their developers move forward at the same lightning fast pace Silverlight is moving at.

Any idea when a Blend preview that works with Visual Studio 2010 RC will be available? It's the one thing that stopping me from upgrading our projects - since we have graphics designers that use Blend 3.

hey guys, im using Blend preview for .net 4 for about a week until a while ago when i open it, it shows a dialog said "Thank you for evaluating the product ...blah blah... please enter a valid product key". There's a link "Get a free Beta product key online" but it just open the "How to Buy" page in Expression website....

I fully agree what's been said ealier. How can we be expected to pay for a whole new version of Expression Studio every 6 months. I bought Expression Studio 3 and my product hasn't even been rolled out yet and I'll have to consider upgrading already. This is rediculous!

I suggest MS find a way to install support for new versions of silverlight/wpf straight into existing versions of Blend. I'm already sitting with an unusable Blend V2 and soon Blend V3 aswell.

Expecting people to pay for upgrades this frequently will definitely harm the product in the long run and put off developers. I'm already starting to regret going down this path if this is how things are going to carry on in future.

I think Source Control should be integrated into the product for following versions.

It's not a question of working side by side but requiring ISVs to buy a version every year. Imagine if something like Office or Visual Studio came out every year.
